On December 22, the headline of "News Network" took nearly 15 minutes to broadcast the news that the Political Bureau of the Central Committee held a special democratic life meeting on the theme of Xi and implementation of Xi Jinping's socialist ideology with Chinese characteristics in the new era from the 21st to the 22nd.
The meeting sent a clear signal that the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core attaches great importance to the democratic life meeting.
The democratic life meeting is an important part of the political life within the party, and an important way to carry forward the democracy within the party and strengthen supervision within the party. Undoubtedly, holding a good democratic life meeting is also an important starting point for doing a good job in party building.
The Politburo of the CPC Central Committee held a democratic life meeting at the end of the year, which has become a common practice in recent years. General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over the meeting, commented on the speeches of the comrades of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee one by one, put forward requirements one by one, summed up the total, and put forward clear requirements for the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee to take the lead in consolidating and expanding the achievements of thematic education.
First, it is necessary to maintain a high degree of ideological unity with the party Central Committee.Ideological unity is the basis for political unity and unity of action. To maintain a high degree of unity with the Party Central Committee politically and in action, it is first necessary to maintain a high degree of ideological unity with the Party Central Committee.
Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is a guide to action for the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups in the country to strive for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and it is of great significance for the whole party to Xi Xi maintain a high degree of consistency with the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core in ideology, politics and action.
Recently, the Office of the Central Theme Education Leading Group issued a notice requiring the promotion of the "four grassroots units" in the school Xi as an important starting point for the second batch of theme education. On November 18, 2023, the staff of the Xiapu County Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision of Ningde City, Fujian Province visited the Qixing Sea Community in Xinan Town.
At present, the second batch of theme education is being carried out in a solid and orderly manner, and special democratic life meetings have been held in various places. General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward requirements to the comrades of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee: "We must play an exemplary and leading role in Xi studying and implementing the ideology of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, integrate and understand the scientific system, core essence and practical requirements, and promote the improvement of political ability and leadership ability with the improvement of ideological and theoretical level." ”
Second, it is necessary to take the lead in implementing democratic centralism.Democratic centralism is our party's fundamental organizational principle and leadership system, how should the comrades of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee take the lead in implementing this system? Xi Jinping put forward clear requirements——
When participating in the study of major policy decisions by the party Central Committee, it is necessary to seriously consider and fully express opinions.
For the real situation learned in the work, it is necessary to reflect it in a timely and objective manner, and we cannot only report good news and not bad news.
In the areas in which we are in charge and in the areas in which we are in charge of the localities, we should pay attention to promoting democracy and encourage everyone to speak their minds freely.
In view of the issue of scientific decision-making, it is necessary to be good at correctly concentrating and refining correct opinions that conform to the law of development of things and the fundamental interests of the broad masses of the people.
The party's 100-year history has fully proved that when the party adheres to democratic centralism, the party's decision-making will be scientific, and the party's cause will overcome difficulties and create miracles repeatedly. When democratic centralism is not properly upheld, the party's policy decisions will be wrong, and the party's cause will encounter setbacks and fall into difficulties. To uphold and strengthen the party's overall leadership, it is necessary to carry out inner-party life in accordance with the principle of democratic centralism.
Third, we have always maintained a high degree of political acumen.With political acumen, leading cadres can clearly see the direction of the wind that began at the end of the green apple, even if a certain social phenomenon, contradiction, or problem has just sprouted, and the situation is chaotic and the trend is unclear. General Secretary Xi Jinping once quoted the ancient poem "not afraid of clouds to cover your eyes" to warn leading cadres at all levels, especially senior cadres, to cultivate a pair of political discernment and earnestly shoulder the political responsibilities entrusted by the party and the people.
At this meeting on democratic life, General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed: "We must always maintain a high degree of political acumen, be prepared for danger in times of peace, and take precautions for rainy days. ”
From the angle of dialectical thinking, the general secretary made demands on the comrades of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee: "It is necessary to have a high degree of political acumen to see the subtleties and to be discerning the details, be good at analyzing the development, changes, and trends of the situation politically, see the essence through phenomena, grasp the internal laws of the development of things, accurately identify the time and the situation, the crisis and the opportunity, and the advantages and disadvantages, take the initiative to recognize and adapt to changes, accurately grasp the opportunities, effectively deal with risks, and make decisions before acting." ”
Fourth, it is necessary to firmly establish a concept of political achievements that benefit the people.Whether or not the outlook on political achievements is correct or not not not only affects the healthy growth of cadres personally, but also has a bearing on the development of the cause of the party and the people.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has made a series of important speeches and made a series of important instructions on issues such as for whom to build political achievements, what kind of political achievements to build, and what to rely on to build political achievements.
"We communists do our work and make achievements for the benefit of the people, not for the sake of personal promotion gains and losses", "the gold and silver cups are not as good as the reputation of the masses", "the concept of political achievements for the benefit of the people", these important instructions have clearly defined the direction of entrepreneurship for the majority of party members and leading cadres.
At this democratic life meeting, General Secretary Xi Jinping clearly put forward three "insistences" and three "oppositions":
-- Adhere to high-quality development, and oppose greed and recklessness.
-- Persist in seeking practical results through practical measures, and oppose flashy and falsified data.
-- Persist in laying a foundation for long-term benefits, and oppose fishing while exhausting the resources and working for the people and money.
At present, high-quality development is the primary task of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, and adhering to high-quality development has naturally become an important part of leading cadres to establish a correct view of political performance. The general secretary stressed that it is necessary to improve the performance assessment and evaluation methods for promoting high-quality development, give full play to the role of the baton, and promote the leadership groups at all levels to conscientiously practice the correct concept of political performance and effectively form a correct work orientation.
Fifth, unite all forces that can be united.Strength is born of unity, and happiness comes from struggle.
Looking back at history, our party has mastered the "code" of success of unity and struggle, grown up in the midst of hardships and overcome difficulties, and united and led the people to create development achievements that shine in the annals of history.
In his report to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed: "Unity and struggle is the only way for the Chinese people to create great historical causes" and "unity is strength, and unity can win." "Unity and struggle" is an important part of studying, Xi and implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
On October 16, 2022, the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China opened in Beijing, and the red flag fluttered outside the Great Hall of the People.
The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China also proposed: "From now on, the central task of the Communist Party of China is to unite and lead the people of all ethnic groups across the country to build a great modern socialist country in an all-round way, realize the second centenary goal, and comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization." ”
Realizing this central task is the common aspiration and common cause of all the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation, and it is also a grand cause full of risks and challenges and requires arduous efforts, and we must rely on unity and struggle to pool the wisdom and strength of hundreds of millions of people.
In this regard, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at this democratic life meeting that it is necessary to be good at inspiring, motivating and inspiring people with the party's goals of struggle, mobilize all positive factors that can be mobilized, unite all forces that can be united, and promote the broad masses of party members, cadres and masses to think in one place and work hard in one place, and enthusiastically devote themselves to the Chinese-style modernization construction.
Sixth, we must always put the people in the highest position in our hearts."The Communist Party is a party that serves the people and always puts the people in the highest position in its heart. ”
During the inspection of Zhejiang Yiwu International Trade City, he had cordial exchanges with business representatives, and went to Beijing and Hebei to visit the affected people in the areas affected by extreme rainfall...... Since the beginning of this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly conducted in-depth investigations at the grassroots level and made important instructions on the production and life of the people.
The supremacy of the people is not an abstract and empty concept, and it must be implemented in all fields and in the entire process of our party's governance of the country. At this democratic life meeting, the general secretary emphasized that the concern for the masses and the people should be reflected in all aspects of the whole process of performing their duties, focusing on ensuring and improving people's livelihood, responding to the reasonable demands of the people in a timely manner, and effectively doing good things, practical things, and difficult things.
This is a requirement for the central leading comrades and also for the broad masses of party members and cadres.
At the meeting, the general secretary also stressed that the formalism and bureaucracy that the cadres and the masses strongly resented are stubborn and repetitive, and it is necessary to continue to exert force, make concerted efforts, and resolutely rectify the problem, starting with the leading organs and leading cadres, and the comrades of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee should take the lead in grasping and reforming the situation.
Recently, the Central Cyber Security and Information Commission issued the "Several Opinions on Preventing and Controlling "Formalism at the Fingertips", which is a concrete measure to thoroughly implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's important exposition on vigorously guarding against formalism and bureaucracy.
Seventh, it is to set a benchmark and set an example for the whole party in terms of self-cleanliness and self-discipline.Looking back at the party members and leading cadres who have been dismissed in recent years, how many of them have a distorted view of power, and they have benefited relatives and friends in exchange for public power, enriching small families, harming the public, and trapping everyone.
"The comrades of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee must always set strict demands on themselves in accordance with the standards of Marxist politicians, set a benchmark and set an example for the whole party in terms of self-cleanliness, honesty and self-discipline, strictly manage their families, relatives and staff members around them, take the lead in implementing the political responsibility of managing the party and governing the party, and do a good job in improving the party's work style and building a clean and honest government in the fields they are in charge of and in the areas where they are in charge." The general secretary once again put forward specific demands at this meeting on democratic life.
The higher the position, the more loyal you must be to the people and serve the people wholeheartedly. Only by respecting the law and discipline and setting an example in honesty and self-discipline can we shoulder the heavy responsibility on our shoulders.
